A bloke was chased down the highway, chase called off at 200 kph, car
spotted again on the outskirts of a major city, on multi lane freeway.

Cops decide to stop all cars ahead of the maniac, form a roadblock
across all lanes, using dozens of vehicles, all civilian, PEOPLE INSIDE
whilst cops hid behind cop cars out of range, with all the fucking
drivers and passengers inside their vehicles and wait for the car to
slam into the cars, which it did.

No not russia, mexico, brazil. Melbourne Australia.

Needless to say, a full investigation under way and police chiefs have
gone on TV and said, "not recommended, not going to be in training
manual"

@Slayerofslaw. God dammit. That was supposed to be a thumbs down.
You are an imbecile. Risk assessment does NOT include putting the public AT RISK. You stupid stupid person. I have an idea. How about you volunteer yourself and your entire family to block all future car chases. Fucking idiot.

Lol, that's why it's under investigation, and the cops said this way was never used, and will never be used again....sooooo although you think it was a good idea (SMH) even the cops there said it was a bad idea and won't be used again....

SOOO aside from having to pay for damages, and POSSIBLY some cops may be suspended, will criminal charges be brought against the cops?
I understand risk assessment and having to stop the person, but by using innocent people?! A the very least use cop cars, spike strips, shoot the tires etc.... There was many other ways to stop this....

This shows that no matter which country the Gov't must be kept as small as possible and as powerless as possible. By its very nature Gov't sees its citizens as expendable resources. They can't be trusted with any aspect of our lives. They are the tail of the dog and the dog should wag the tail not the tail wagging the dog.

You are fucked Australia. You gave up your guns and this is what you get. The police don't care about you. The police don't care about you. The police don't care about you.
LOL at the police offering to pay for the damages. That means you have to pay for the damages. They should be taming the money right from the douchebags responsible for causing this in the first place. Why should the taxpayers be on the hook for something so colossaly stupid caused by police?
